Around January this year, I tried to book an appointment with a prominent figure in the banking industry.i got the appointment in late February.
On 20th February when I went to his office, I tried to sell my idea and before I was done, the timmer beeped…I was told “thank you very much we will talk next time”.That day I was demoralized, complitely shuttered.
Jana, 5th of June 2021, while on my way out, in the changing room of our golf club(am a member of Nairobi royal golf club) the big shot just checked in.we exchanged pleasantries, and he suggested we get back to the field.
The guy who gave me barely 20min of his time on 20th February, yesterday I had 4hrs of his attention.Ningekua Sabina joy ama club quivers pengine hatungekutana…
Where you hangout, the people you associate with, your friends really determine if you will progress or regress.
@ChifuMbitika once told me…The rich will never look for you, you have to look for them.and he advised me in a table of Kings, position yourself at the bottom of the table, kwa sababu hao wakiangusha mfupa hawaokoti, ukikula hizo polepole utashiba.
Anyway the guy has told me to be at his office by 9Am Tomorrow on Monday 7th, and he will personally introduce me to people who will support the idea.
No sir. I had invited the OP and his buddies to my ranch house in Laikipia where we had a great day discussing business, politics and other issues and then treated them to wine and dine. The OP even posted in a thread.
Your network is not your networth. Izo ni quotes tu za watu kwa mitandao. Shindeni na watu mashuhuri, na wenye pesa mkiwapanguzia viatu na kucheka jokes zao ovyo, mkipatwa na shida ndio mtajua ao sio wenzenu, kila mtu ako peke yake. Tafuta pesa, not connections.
Some years back, There’s a guy who would budget for Ksh2,000 every sitting and twice a week he would frequent the Serena Hotel for a few beers. Overtime he made friends with regulars, bigshots in their careers and would exchange in casual banter.
Overtime they would walk out, he’d walk them to their guzzlers and whenever asked about where he’s parked, he would point at some random corner of the parking lot. Then jump into a cab and drop off in town to get his bus home.
One day during the usual banter, a regular asked him what he does for a living. And that’s how he got his first huge contract to supply IT equipment to a multinational and that set him off to the big boys club.
It’s also a big lie by Maina. No way could Kiereini influence tendering directly or indirectly to a random guy he met in some club. Those tumzees trend very carefully and are very reserved.
